Hello all. I picked up this old Johnson 9.9 from a coworker yesterday for next to nothing.He said it ran when he put it in the barn 12 years ago but it hasn’t been touched since. It was not stored properly so I am going through it and going to be fixing it up either to put on my 14’ Sea Scamp or...

Great info! I would love to be able to get 20mph out of her. 13mph gets me around but at 20 I would feel like I’m really moving.

Just did some further research and I was able to find the dimensions of a 1973 Sea Scamp on another forum. I went out to the garage and measured mine and this is indeed a 1973 Sea Scamp! I’m just excited that I finally know what my tinny is! Lol

I’ve had quite a hard time finding any info about this hull. The capacity plate is missing as well. I ran a HIN check on it but pulled back very little info. All I know is that it is a StarCraft Marine manufactured in 1973. Through hours of research on the web, I’ve found that it is most likely...

Hello all. I got this tinny about 2 months ago and I already love it. So far I’ve built a floor between the middle and front bench and like the feel of it. Though I believe that I would like to remove to middle bench and build a floor front the front bench to the rear bench as to open it up a...

This is my first boat. I love it already and would love to do a full restore on it eventually. For now, I just want her in the water without leaks lol. I was underneath of it last night looking for where the water is coming in and it seems to be coming from along the seam down the center of the...

Thank you for the reply. The inside is where I was planning to put the Gluvit. The previous owner applied flex seal along the rivets inside of the boat.

Recently purchased this. Done a lot of digging on this site about repairing leaking rivets. I’m curious if any of y’all could give me suggestions about how to remove old paint and flex seal along seams and rivets from previous owner. I’d like to strip the paint and flex seal and do a reseal with...
